Along with tvN, JTBC also continues to produce popular dramas that attract a lot of attention. These cable TV stations can have more freedom in their choice of topics than public broadcasting stations such as KBS, SBS, and MBC. Dramas from cable TV stations seem to be gaining popularity with their ingenious casting and carefully written scripts.
